I'd really like to thank my comod for all of this, who has done a ton of the behind the scenes work and a lot of the front-facing work as well! As well, thank you to all the people who have posted so many fills!

ETA: As of 12:36 AM ET, all gift boxes should be revealed and all future comments should be visible immediately so you all can give and receive comments without them being screened. If you notice your comments are still being screened, let us know and one of us will fix it as soon as we're awake and online. :)

And as noted in the comments, a very special thank you to everyone who filled the needy gift boxes! Everyone got at least two gifts this year, which is awesome.

Mod writing this will be awake for roughly 20 more minutes, and will then see you all in the morning. Enjoy your gifts, everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has posted fills so far! We're about 3 weeks away from reveals, and our aim is to have at least 2 fills for each giftbox. To do that we're going to need help from all of you.

Below is a list of giftboxes that don't have 2 fills yet and can do with more love, please consider filling them if you can! There's also a needy boxes spreadsheet (sheet 1 sorted by participant, sheet 2 sorted by fandom). We'll update both this list and the spreadsheet regularly as fills come in.

Since it's come up a couple times, if you have a question for a recip, please let the mods know via either the mod support post or a PM. We'll figure out how to get in contact with them, and let you know your answer as soon as possible! It's much better than having a disappointed recip or gifter because of a misunderstanding or unasked question.

(Caveat to the above: Since this is not run on Ao3, we do not have the ability to send participants emails. Answers will therefore depend on how often the person checks their Dreamwidth/Twitter/LJ/Tumblr/etc messages and responds to them.)

As the title says, all of the request summaries have now been posted. You can access all of them in one place at this link, along with the requests by media type post.

The Ao3 collection already has 3 works, and we have even more fills in giftboxes on Dreamwidth, which is even better. :D We'll be back in September with the lonely giftbox list, so have fun filling! And if you have any questions, leave them on the mod support post.

Sign Up FormYou are required to sign up with at least three fandoms, one of which may be original. For exceptions, please read the rules. There are no character/pairing min/max requirements. Please leave your sign up in the textarea tags.

Hi! As some of you know, the old mod had to step down, so there’s a new mod this year along with some old ones who helped last year and are back to help this year. Right now, we’d like to just get thoughts on the schedule for this year. We’ve obviously missed starting the same time as last year, but we don’t want to push things too much later and end up running into Trick or Treat, Yuletide, etc.

For reference, last year’s schedule is behind the cut. ( Read more... )

Ideally, I’d like to open sign-ups for this year no later than June 21, 2017, and keep them open until July 7. I realize that’s a little shorter than last years, and if that seems like a major problem for anyone, I’ll keep them open longer. If we do go with that, the schedule would look something like the following:

If this seems like too short a period of time to anyone, suggestions/comments are welcome! Reveals will be delayed if someone doesn’t have any gifts in their giftbox, but hopefully that will not be a problem. If you have any opinions/suggestions/comments about other parts of Fandom Giftbox, feel free to post them here as well. :) Thanks!
